CCTV Drainage Surveys in Hitchin
Carrying out works in Hitchin? Our CCTV drainage surveys give you the underground clarity you need — quickly, accurately, and with zero excavation.
Using HD crawler cameras, we inspect internal pipe conditions and capture vital data including invert levels, flow direction, pipe size, discharge type, and structural integrity.
Each survey includes:
- A detailed PDF report with mapped findings and condition grading
- High-quality video footage and still images
- An indicative connectivity sketch as standard
- CAD-ready outputs when combined with topographical or measured building surveys
Ideal for build-over consents, drainage due diligence, and asset validation across Hitchin and North Hertfordshire.

When You’ll Need a CCTV Drainage Survey (And Why)
We get called out for all sorts of reasons — but these are the most common:
- Homebuyer surveys — find hidden damage before you exchange contracts.
- Insurance claims — prove the cause and extent of drainage damage.
- Blocked or slow-flowing drains — pinpoint exactly where the obstruction is.
- Unusual smells or gurgling sounds — identify cracked pipes, ingress or backflow.
- Construction projects — check drainage routes and conditions before breaking ground.
And sometimes, it’s just for peace of mind.
If something seems off, let’s take a proper look and put it to rest.
